In the vast ocean, whales are considered the finest singers. The notes of their songs protect the underwater inhabitants from danger. So when Vincent, a young humpback whale, loses both his parents one day, all responsibility falls on him. But Vincent hasn’t found his own song yet, and something evil is rapidly approaching from the mysterious depths of the sea… This animated fairy tale was created at the Czech animation studio, PFX, directed by Pavel Hruboš, among others, with cinematography by Jaromír Malý.
